Power Distribution System Cuts Installation Time

For busing common power to multiple and unique electrical components, the modular APD power-distribution system enables fast and easy addition or removal of components using quick disconnects. The system can supply separate voltages to auxiliary circuits and control circuits for relays, contactors, and timers or deliver power to circuit breakers, motor starters, switches, and contactors. It supports multiple connections per phase, up to 83 disconnects per meter, and houses two conductors in plastic insulation suitable for voltages up to 600 Vac. Conductors with current ratings of 25A, 63A, or 80A are available as well as bus bars in one or two phases with a maximum temperature rating of +70ºC. Other features include an input current from 30A to 90A and support for wire sizes from 8 AWG to 2 AWG. Accessories include end caps to enclose the insulation, bar-holders, end supports, and marking sets, plus the entire system is touch proof, meeting IP20. ALTECH CORP., Flemington, NJ. (908) 806-9400.
